Amused by Mews

When I walk around my neighborhood, I see a lot of short streets that are not quite streets and not quite alleys.  The street signs have a name and then the word Mews.  So I guess they are mews.  Somehow, they don’t really have anything in common.  Some have a courtyard in the middle, some are dead-ended and some allow cars and others don’t.  My Daddy was curious too so he consulted his most knowledgeable friend, Google and here is what Mr. Oxford said a mews is ” A row or street of houses or flats that have been converted from stables or built to look like former stables.”  Humm, you mean to tell me that all those fancy condo buildings were converted from stables?  That sounds like horse puck to me…..hee..hee…hee.  I am amused now!!
